Tips for Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies

A few tips to make sure your breakfast cookies turn out as amazing as they should.

Always bake your cookies on parchment paper or a silpat sheet. They won’t stick to the pan or burn on the bottom prematurely.

Make sure the carrots for these cookies are shredded thinly. They will help with the texture of the cookie

Use a cookie scoopto put your dough on the pan. A cookie scoop really makes all of your cookies a uniform size and shape, which helps them all bake evenly.

Gluten Free Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies

I love sharing alternatives to make baked goods gluten free and dairy free. These breakfast cookies are very easy to amend for both! For gluten free breakfast cookies just substitute

and double check your vanilla extract to make sure it too is gluten free.

Dairy Free

For dairy free you only have to watch out for the butter. Just switch it out for coconut oil or another dairy free butter substitute.

Egg Free

The recipe only calls for 1 egg. I don’t pretend to know a lot about egg free baking, but I do know it is a top allergen and I know Vegans and more try to avoid them. With that being said, there is no reason why an egg substitute or a flax egg shouldn’t be used in this. Both should work just fine.

Storing Breakfast Cookies

Once your cookies have cooled you can store them in an air tight container. You can even double the batch and put some of your cooled breakfast cookies in the freezer for those busy days! Just thaw and enjoy!
